Vengeance
You open my throat as I lie in your arms
Hatred and love twist in your eyes
An avenging demon, mane till your waist
Flecked by crimson, soul-deep rage
Struggling out a rasping cry
Painting the sheets a living red
Sculptured face contorted in pain
Shock and betrayal splinter his gaze
Her family's faces burn in her vision
Their screams sear actoss her mind
Red gaping smiles, eat to ear
So shall their killer die
